Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close watch to prevent it from burning.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
